Chapter 209: Two Ships

In the middle of the moon, the soft moonlight spreads over the canal, like a layer of light veil covering it, which looks so dreamlike.

On the most eye-catching building boat on the bank of the river, the light and candle light emitted at this moment is much stronger than the moonlight, not only illuminating itself up and down inside and out, but also several large and small boats in front and behind are also visible, which makes many owners and passengers come to the side of the building boat to look up.

What they looked up at was naturally not the dazzling lights, but the dozens of graceful figures dancing on the hull deck. In addition to the enchanting dance, there are also music that makes people pay attention to it, and this kind of song and dance is really rare for those of them who travel far away.

People have already figured out that this building boat, which can invite several of the most popular dancing musicians in the former Bianfu City, is actually the second son of the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing, and even the prefect has come on the boat to visit just now, so this time it is naturally envied by everyone.

However, this building ship did not plan to invite outsiders to board the ship, and even the prefect was sent away after seeing the son of the Xu family, and only those dancing musicians were able to stay on the ship for a long time. Perhaps, in a sense, the merchant ships that were also docked in front of and behind the building were quite lucky, at least the sound of the music was in the ears, and you could still see the dancing figures on the deck.

How many people are envious of the passengers on the ship, but obviously some people are a little in the blessing and do not know the blessing, at least Lu Zhen is like this, looking at the singing and dancing in front of him, his face is tightly locked, even the delicacies in front of him, he didn't have the heart to take a sip, but he drank several glasses of wine and fell into his stomach.

Lu Zhen is not a good drinker, but now he hates to get drunk immediately. Because Xu Chengzong said just now that he was going to listen to him and the three scholars each compose a poem about the moonlit night of the canal after the song and dance, which was really embarrassing for him.

Although there have been many famous poems about night parking and moonlit nights since ancient times, Lu Jinneng can probably recite a few poems, such as what the bright moon shines on the river, and the moon swells on the river...... It's a pity that these famous and popular poems are now sung by people all over the world, and he can't plagiarize them at all.

As for saying that he composed a song on the spot? Lu Zhen asked himself if he didn't have that ability, how could a traveler who had never received the teaching of the ancient imperial examination make a poem that rhymed to suit the occasion?

Why didn't he travel to before the Tang and Song dynasties, otherwise maybe with his memory, he could become famous all over the world when he was a copyist, and he would be addicted to a great writer. Lu Zhen couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he also knew that this was also unrealistic, even if before the Tang and Song dynasties, there were no people like Li Du Suxin, and he didn't dare to be a poet. Because poetry often has to be adapted to the situation, rather than casually reciting two sentences to make others accept, not to mention that there is a couplet waiting for him.

Therefore, the situation in front of him really gave Lu Zhen a headache, but he was a little helpless, so he could only drink a few more glasses of wine, hoping to rely on the strength of wine to make himself come up with some famous sentences. Or when the time comes, you can borrow wine and be thick-skinned, and you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the other three.

His expressions and movements fell into the eyes of the three Wang Juren over there, seeing him with such a sad look, the three of them couldn't help but secretly rejoice, knowing that the opportunity to perform well in front of Xu Gongzi had finally arrived.

The sound of the song suddenly stopped in the hearts of several people, whether happy or worried, and the dancing girl also stopped spinning, squatted lightly, and bowed to Xu Chengzong, who was sitting in the right room.

Xu Chengzong's face showed a satisfied smile, and he slapped his hand twice: "Okay, this song is not bad, and the dance is good, compared to the songs and dances in Beijing and Nanjing that I have seen." Later, you will go and receive a reward of one hundred taels. ”

"Thank you for the reward of Young Master Xu!" A dry dancing girl hurriedly bowed down and thanked her coquettishly. And the steward of the Qinglou who brought them here is even more ruddy, today can make Xu Gongzi praise, the identity of these dancing girls in their own family will be very different in the future, I am afraid that in the future, people with rich status in Shandong will think of their own family when they want to invite people to sing and dance, which can make him feel more happy than the one hundred taels of silver he gets.

Xu Chengzong didn't have the heart to take into account the thoughts of such a little person, and while his interest was high, he swept his gaze to the left and right: "Brother Lu, three gentlemen, I have also listened to this song, watched the dance, and the scenery has been appreciated for a long time, presumably your talents should also come out, right?" If there are any wonderful poems, please show them to me. ”

Wang Juren tilted his head and glanced at Lu Jin, and saw that he still didn't mean to speak, so he smiled and said: "There are really a few crooked poems in the bottom, and I hope that Xu Gongzi will taste it, Lu Gongzi, please don't hesitate to give advice." As he spoke, he smiled provocatively at Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen nodded helplessly: "Brother Wang, please ......"

Wang Juren stood up from his seat with his hands behind his back, standing up the bow of the boat, looking like a literati and a. After pretending to be like this, Fang slowly opened his mouth and chanted a poem that he had actually prepared before-

When the hull of the ship sank, Qinggele and several people knew that something was wrong, and immediately drew their knives in their hands, and surrounded Xu Gong, while staring at the curtain at the entrance of the cabin to prevent someone from suddenly killing in.

Surprisingly, everything outside was quiet, and there was no movement, as if it was just their illusion. However, everyone knows that something has happened outside, otherwise how could the companions who went out before come in and report it. And now, not only did he not come, but he didn't make a sound, obviously something was wrong.

"Shall I go out and have a look?" One asked in a whisper.

Qingge shook his head: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, so it is better to defend it." If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move! As he spoke, his eyes were still staring vigilantly ahead, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Suddenly, a thud sounded from outside the cabin, and then in the midst of the whistling sound, a dark shadow rushed in with a strong wind that had smashed open the low-hanging curtain. Obviously, the other party didn't have a few people inside to calm down and make the first move!

The one who was in front of him immediately stepped forward, and the knife in his hand slashed through a cold light and slashed towards the black shadow's chest. His original intention was to force this guy back first, so that he could block the footsteps of the enemy who followed behind, so as to create a gap for the other companions to defend and counterattack.

But what I didn't expect was that the black shadow that rushed in didn't dodge or dodge in the face of the knife move, and actually ate this knife in the chest, and then the body pounced forward, and the steel knife that directly pressed into the body fell into the cabin.

Including the person who made the shot, everyone was stunned, and then, Qinggele shouted softly: "It's the sixth child!" Everyone saw clearly that the black shadow that rushed in was the companion who had just gone out and then lost his voice, which made their hearts suddenly tighten, and the other party was so ruthless!

"Bang!" Just as the eyes and thoughts of several people fell on the corpse of their companion on the ground, the cabin decks on both sides suddenly cracked open with a loud bang, and three black shadows on the left and right rushed towards them, and the swords in their hands reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

Although they hurriedly responded, they were half a beat slower, and one was stabbed in the shoulder with a knife, and the other was stabbed in the chest and abdomen with a long sword. Only Qinggrad pulled Xu Gong back, and finally flashed the three sharp blades that attacked them, but he was also scared into a cold sweat.

Although the two brocade guards were wounded, they still swung their swords to attack, forcing the enemy in front of them to retreat, and then retreated in front of the two Qingle, assuming a posture of sworn protection.

In this regard, the six people in front of him just smiled contemptuously: "Xu Dudu, you don't say goodbye this time, it's really shameless to give everyone face." We have been ordered by Madurus to ask you to return and hand you over. ”

"It's you!" Xu Gong had clearly seen the appearance of the six people in front of him at this time: "The six mad dogs under Ma Shun!" ”

"It's the Six Tigers!" The white-faced man led by him shouted angrily and pounced with his sword. The other five people were used to cooperating with him, and as soon as they saw him, they followed closely and slashed at the outermost two.

In terms of personal martial arts, these two people were not the opponents of the six cronies brought up by Ma Shunti, and now they were outnumbered and seriously injured, so they were not opponents, and they were forced to retreat again after only blocking one move. And there is only such a little space in this cabin, and when they retreat, they are already crowded together with Qinggele and Xu Gong.

Seeing this, the six people were overjoyed again, smiling evilly, and surrounded again, waving their swords and slashing straight at the four people in the corner. They believe that in such a situation, even if the other party has the ability, they will not be able to avoid the fate of being dismembered by a knife.

But at this moment, variables suddenly appeared.

An angry roar sounded, Qinggel squatted down violently, waved the knife, and the long knife in his hand swept straight towards the lower abdomen of the six of them. Although the weapons in their hands could also cut down the four people in front of them, it was the result of losing both.

Of course, it is impossible for the six people who have won the battle to exchange their lives with Qinggele, so they quickly stopped and drew their swords to defend themselves. But they guarded it, but they kept it empty. Qinggele's seemingly fierce and unsparing knife was actually a false move, and it was actually taken back before them, and at the same time, while they were retreating, they had pulled Xu Gong to slam into the cabin behind him, and directly knocked out of the cabin.

When the six people saw this, they immediately became a little annoyed and angry, and they were actually frightened away by one person and one knife, which made them feel very shameless, so they roared and killed again.

The remaining two injured wanted to stop them, but as soon as their bodies moved, they fell down again, obviously no longer able to fight.

"I want to leave, but it's not that easy!" Seeing them fleeing straight towards the stern of the boat, the six people who chased them laughed fiercely, shook their hands and fired an arrow, and suddenly several small boats surrounded them on both sides, blocking their retreat, even if they wanted to abandon the ship, they would not be able to abandon the ship.

At this time, there were enemies on the left and right and behind the ship that Qinggele and Xu Gong were on, and in front of them were six fierce enemies, as if they had no way out.

However, Qinggel did not see the slightest despair at this time, but sneered, and the knife in his hand flashed, and slashed on the thick rope in front of him, which was connected to the iron anchor!
